[QUOTE="ffamom, post: 697294, member: 1882"] that you could be a quadriplegic in just 24 hours from this virus. My father in law has been in the hospital for over month. The virus attacked all of the muscles in is body including his diaphragm…so he can’t breathe on his own and only has very limited movement. Will he get better? Some do and MOST don’t. The day before the virus attacked, he was helping my sons build a fence. He was very health with no known health problems. In our area, Dallas/Ft. Worth area, this virus is infecting all ages and races. The hospital that my FIL is in has had 8 other victims admitted into the ICU (ages 8-80). IF they left the hospital, most have severe disabilities. If you don’t wear bug spray, think about it. I thought that West Nile Virus just gave you flu like symptoms. This is not the case. CDC states the severe cases are seen in people over 50 and under 5. However, that is not what we have seen. One bite that leads to a severe infection could cause you to go “crazy”, become a quadriplegic, or at the least a lifetime filled with muscle weakness and severe fatigue. PUT ON BUG SPRAY BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE. [/QUOTE]
